A Model-Based Analytic Approach for Evaluating End-to-End Error Correction with Interleaving in IP Networks

This paper outlines a model-based analytic approach designed to evaluate the effectiveness of End-to-End Error Correction (EEEC) coding combined with interleaving in mitigating packet losses within IP networks. It introduces a recursive procedure for precisely assessing packet-loss statistics and integrates a discrete-time Markov chain (DTMC) to account for interleaving effects. The framework supports both single-session and complex multiple-session scenarios, offering a unified approach to explore tradeoffs between key coding parameters like interleaving depths, channel coding rates, and block lengths. The aim is to facilitate optimal coding strategy selection for diverse multimedia application with varying Quality of Service(Qos) requirements.
